    another idea I i use Minky for backings. I still use batting. The only problem I've had is the spray adhesive doesn't stick to it. So you have to pin.but it makes a really soft fluffy. Quilt.

    I just used flannel and minky to make a blankie for my GGD. Came out nice but make sure to pin all way round. It turned nicely and I stitched two rounds around. This is now GGD's favorite blankie for her bed. I think it's the Minky that they like. My sister just finished a flannel blanket for her GS and used fleece for the batting. Came out really nice.

    OK. I am so glad for this subject and ya'lls replies. I only tried fleece on the back once (quilting on a frame) and the stitching on the back was horrible. Is there some trick to how to do it on a longarm/midarm quilting frame? Thanks.

    I think I will have to try this with fleece on the back. It sounds so warm and cozy! Does anyone know how close together the quilting needs to be?

    When you use fleece do you need to stretch it tight or just slightly when you pin it for quilting a quilt?

    Will Project Linus accept a quilt/blanket that only has a top and a fleece backing with no batting in the middle?
